Erantzun - Ez Genuen Ezer Egim

Review by Koschi der Mutmacher

Erantzun's latest album, "Ez Genuen Ezer Egim," is a masterpiece of Basque folk music. The album features a variety of traditional Basque instruments, including the txalaparta, alboka, and trikitixa, and showcases the band's impeccable musicianship.

The album's opening track, "Kantu Zaharrak," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting vocals and intricate melodies. Other standout tracks include "Gaztelugatxeko Martxa," a lively dance tune that will have listeners tapping their feet, and "Txoria Txori," a beautiful ballad that showcases the band's vocal harmonies.

One of the album's strengths is its ability to seamlessly blend traditional Basque music with modern influences. Tracks like "Gaztelugatxeko Martxa" and "Zubiak" incorporate electronic beats and synthesizers, giving the music a contemporary edge without sacrificing its traditional roots.
